How did your lopsided math/science student do in admissions?

OP – You’ve been an active participant on this site for a while, so you likely don’t need this piece of info, but, in addition to an additional “safety” or two, try to pick at least one or two rolling admissions schools he would be willing to go to. Having one or two admits early will lessen the pressure. And…if for some reason those rolling don’t work out…he’ll have a chance to add to his list.

Pitt and Indiana are the two rolling that seem to like LI kids with 550+ scores…so…they’ll love his high math score. And they have substantial Jewish populations. Look at the early Posts on the Admitted thread for other rolling suggestions.

As for safeties…RPI is close to a sure thing with his scores. SUNY Albany and Buffalo would also be close to safeties. Anything else on your school’s Naviance, that seems interesting, where he’s above the line for GPA and scores?
